After completing my research about the topic of map projections/ how they relate to Greenland and finished writing the text, I was eager to get started on trying out different video edits.
I gathered a lot of inspiration on social media and used multiple reels as somewhat of a tutorial/template for my own videos.
I will admit, I was probably too quick in jumping on to the production train, as my shotlist was not fully worked out and I had not yet determined the timing/duration of each shot. Still, I tried out a setup at home, because this is also something I aim to achieve – have setups that don’t require a well-equipped studio setting. I do own a Sony A7 IV, which I also used for recording, my light setup is much more rudimentary, as I am using a ring light, a budget LED-floodlight for lighting up the room as well as a budget LED-colored light for establishing moods and create a look.
By now, I have recorded multiple clips and am in the process of editing them using different tools/effects but they still have to undergo massive timing adjustments in order to produce a good result.
Techniques I tried out were for example using background remover tools for layering videos and putting in text, or achieving a kind of stop-motion look for a text animation.
Screenshots from my current progress can be found below.
